SOMETIME in the month of March
J last, a man callin. himself ALEX
ANDER J. MAURICE, came to this
place, professirg to be a Universalist
Preacher, and as such, was cordiallv re
ceived by the friends of Ur.iversalism.
Some short time -after his arrival, his
friends becoming his sureties, he was en
abled to purchase one half of the Printing
Press, Types, and other materials used
in the office of the Carolina Sentinel, to
gether with some other articles, amount
in;.; in all to about 5 1800. Scarcely have
six months elapsed, when this same un
principled scoundrel lias shamefully ab
sconded, and left his friends to pay his
debts. Since his departure from this
place, we have heard of his having car
ried awav a 'rold watch entrusted to his
care ir
a huly in the country, for the j
purr,o.e oi ha ;n;;- it repaired in thi

oi pui eoasjng several waicues on tne
eve tf his depai tore, for which lie gave
his notes; oi liis borrowing several sums
of money, and finally leaving his tavern
hill unpaid.
This notice is therefore to caution tlu
public, (particularly in Philadelphia and
New-link, where he has been seen,) to
discountenance such a villain.

.NORTll-CAKOI.INA
SIIE undersigned announces to his
former subscribers and the public,
that he will, in a few weeks, resume
the publication of the NORTH-CAROLINA
SENTINEL. He has
been induced to this determination by
the discontinuance of the paper on the
part of its late Editor, and the im
probability that its publication would
be undertaken by any other person.
He is already sufficiently familiar with
the responsibilities and inadequate
support connected with a Press in
Newborn, and in again subjecting
himself to their operation, he yields
more to a sense of duty, than to any
hope of pecuniary emolument. His
expectations will be realized if the
business aifords but a moderate profit:
and this, he trusts, will be secured by
ilic kindness of his friends.
That the Sentinel may he rendered
more acceptable to its readers, the
Editor is making arrangements to is
sue it on an imperial sheet, with a
handsome new type. If a correspon
ding improvement should not be ef
fected in the general character of the
Paper, the dchcieucy will he attribu
table to the imperfect qualifications of
the Editor. His judgment, however
deficient, will be honestly applied to
the promotion of what he conceives
to be the public good.

COTTON.
The Planting Interest. Do
not thu present prospects of the
cotton ir-ule forcibly admonish
our planters to retrench l heir
expenditures, rather than to in
volve themselves- in hew obli
gations to extend their produc
tions'! It is probable, if the
supply of cotton should be as
prodigiously extended as it lias
been tor the last few years, that
the present prices can hardly
be maintained.
These are important consid
erations, and well calculated to
awaken the attention of the
state. We think it evident for
the present, that the planters
will not go further in debt, that
they must" economise their re
sources; and raise a portion of
those supplies, which thev
could hitherto afford to pureh
ase.
That the planters will be
temporarily subjected to consid
erable difficulties .there can be
no doubt; but it is equally true
that they must ultimately tri
U 111 ph OVerlhetll, iiri(i fCtlJ) till
rewards ot their industrv. I In
cotton fabrics now in use are so
useful and chenp an article of
clothing, that, they will m for
cibly pushed into every tempe
rate region, and consumption it
self vastly increased. Doubtless
the opening of the ports of the
Black sea, and the increasing
commerce of the north will stimulate-
the trade. Hut these op
erations time alone can accom
plish. With all our confidence
in this vast increase of consump
tion, it cannot be prudent to
push the produce of cotton to
the extremity. Our planters,
need not fear they cannot be
in a long course of time driven
off the field by superior com
petition. They can sustain a
ny shock and they have in
deed already driven off the
feeble planters of Brazil and
other countries the supplies
from these last, having de
clined fur the last five years.
If any one doubts that an in
creased supply would be injuri
ous to the interest in general
he must defy the unalterable
laws of supply and demand.
In support of this position let
us refer to the following table,
which we find already prepared
to our hand in the New Olive
Branch of Mr. Carv:
Quantity and value of the ex
ports of Cotton from the Uni
ted folates lor-eleven years,
from the Treasury returns.

It is quite evident from the a
bove table, that the supply of
cotton has out stripped the de
mand. If we wish to know
where this vast increase came
from, the statistics of our own
city can furnish some light:

With these facts staring in
the face, it is in vain for us to
say that further increase at this
moment is desirable or that
the planters ought to embarrass
themselves in large purchases
of slaves. Ncio Orleans Adco.
The. Sugar Trade. It is
calculated, from correct sour
ces, that the consumption of
sugar in the United States a
mounts to 140,000,000 pounds,
and that 60,000,000 of this are
imported; on the amount im
ported a duty of three cents
per pound is paid. We manu
facture in this country about
30,000,000 pounds of sugar,
which sells in" the market for
lhe same sum that the im
ported sugars bring, including
the duty; the three cents, there
fore, paid for the imported su
gars which operate to form
tiiis equfdity of price, go into
the pockets of the manufactu
rer; that, is to s-iy, while the
three cents duty goes into the
I reaur ttiree cents
P
also go
to the manufacturer, whose
prices arc the same as those of
the importer. The manufac
turer, therefore, taxes the A
merican people on 30,000,000,
pounds of which thev produce,
the sum of 2,400,000 and on
our whole consumption $4,200,
000.' This is an enormous a
mountof tax upon an article of
necessity, which twenty states
in the union pay, to benefit the
remaining four in which sui;ar
is manufactured; nay, not four,
because Georgia and Mississip
pi were in favor of repealing
the duty. It may be said there
fore, that, in effect, the Ameri
can people pay for the benefit of
Louisiana and Alabama alone,
a tax on sujjar equal to four
millions of dollars annually!
Let us go a little further into
our calculations on this inter
esting subject. A good quality
of Matanzas sugar may be ob
tained at that place for $2 25
per 100 lbs., an inferior quality
at SI 25 or one and a quarter
cts. per pound. If we take the
highest of the two prices, and
add thc cost of boxes, the sugar
may be had at a little less than
three eents per lb. the amount
we pay in duly alone; what
then is the actual cost to our
consumers! Add duty, freight,
dornmission, transportation, pro
fits it amounts to 87 75 per
100 lbs., which the consumer
.pays. -"-Whereas for exporta
tion, drawback, oil', it costs SI
75. In other words, if the du
ty on sugar is repealed, or re
duced to one .cent, a family
will purchase the article for
domestic use for five cents per
lb. instead of eight, or with 'the
profit of the grocer, for ten
cents. N. Y. Cour. & Enq.
